Frozen raspberries cool down hot oatmeal

Alisa's hack will put a dent in your frozen berry stash:

My 16-month-old daughter loves oatmeal for breakfast. But she's really impatient - I make the real deal, which takes a whole ... what, five minutes to prepare?  Add 'cooling off' time, and she's screetching in my ear before I've even had coffee.  My solution (which I discovered by accident) is to add frozen raspberries to the hot oatmeal.  They not only add sweetness, but cool the bowl down immediately -- after I stir them in and mash them a little.  Bonus:  the hot oatmeal defrosts the raspberries, too. [And the oatmeal turns pink! If your kid's not a berry fan, my old friend Judie suggests adding an ice cube. Same effect with no flavor. -- Ed]
